The final decomposition product, namely CdO was
identified by IR spectroscopy with corresponding
spectra obtained under the same conditions as the
pure oxides. The total mass loss is found as 86.18%

similar with the Co(II) compound (Fig. 2). The com-
plex mainly exhibits four stages of decomposition.
In the stage of range 43–184°C, involves endother-
mic decomposition at 74, 145 and 179°C (DTG) cor-
responding to the loss of five moles of water mole-
cules as indicated by TG mass loss (found 11.09,
calcd. 10.93%). In the second and third stages, the
successive decomposition process is initially exo-
thermic, an endothermic contribution is also ob-
served in the DTA curve of the complex. In these
stages of the complex, one mole of phen and two
Based on the initial DTGmax temperatures, the ther-
mal stabilities of the complexes follow the sequence:
Cd(II), 68°C<Ni(II), 74°C<Cu(II), 135°C<Co(II), 166°C.

sented in Fig. 4, is well-defined, consisting of four
stages. The first stage is related to the dehydration in
the temperature interval of 53–177°C, the four moles
of water molecules are released by giving endother-
mic effect at 135°C (DTGmax). A good agreement be-
tween the experimental and the calculated values
was observed for the mass loss (found 8.55;
calcd. 8.94%). The anhydrous complex is stable in
air up to 218°C. In the second stage, in the tempera-
ture range of 218–340°C, the Cu(II) complex under-
goes the decomposition of the two moles of phen
ligand giving exothermic effect (DTGmax=270°C,
found 43.06, calcd. 44.71%). The third stage is re-
lated to the release of CO2 from the orotate

dehydration of the complex occurs by giving endo-
thermic effects at 68 and 124°C (DTGmax). The TG
curve of the complex shows a mass loss in the range
of 56–143°C corresponding to the loss of two moles
of coordinated water and two moles of crystal water
